FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer
controlled gasoline engine and electric motor to
provide the most efficient combination of power for
the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes
are applied, braking force generates electricity
which is then sent to the traction battery. In
addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is
stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved
performance.
Note: Fuel consumption and energy information
of the Hybrid System are shown on the
multi-information display and/or navigation
system screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels
specified in the Owner’s Manual.
Link trips, if possible, to reduce engine cold
starts.
A
void driving at speeds that are higher than
necessary, especially on the highway.
When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize
regenerative braking energy.
Minimize use of the air conditioning.
•The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as
well as a 12-volt system. DC and AC high voltage is
very dangerous and can cause severe burns and
electric shock that may result in death or serious
injury.
•Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high
voltage cables, their connectors and high voltage
parts such as the inverter unit, traction battery,
traction motor, air conditioning compressor, AC/DC
converter, etc.
